AgentFM has released version 1.3.0, introducing a peer-to-peer network that transforms everyday computers into a decentralized AI supercomputer. This update allows users to run large AI workloads across a global mesh of idle CPUs and GPUs, with a new desktop application for Mac and Linux.

The twhsi/skills GitHub repository offers a collection of AI agent skills designed for Chinese knowledge workers, focusing on workflows for iMandalArt, FIRE semantic analysis, planning, and publishing. These skills are compatible with LLM agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini.

Mindburn-Labs has released version 0.7.1 of the HELM AI Kernel, an open-source execution firewall for AI agents. This tool acts as a fail-closed boundary, controlling agent actions by deciding to allow, deny, or escalate them, and generating signed receipts for verification.

Zeroshot has released version 8, transitioning its command-line interface to a native executable and retiring the Node.js runtime. This update aims to improve performance and simplify setup for developers using the autonomous engineering team tool.

AISix is a new open-source AI gateway built in Rust, designed to provide a unified OpenAI-compatible API for various large language models and AI agents. It offers features like routing, guardrails, caching, rate limiting, and observability, aiming to simplify the management of AI infrastructure.

Hex has released a Claude Code plugin named 'claude-council' that allows users to query multiple AI coding agents, including Gemini, OpenAI, and Grok, simultaneously. The plugin displays responses side-by-side and synthesizes agreements and divergences among the agents.

Nimbalyst is a new open-source, MIT-licensed desktop application designed as a visual workspace for AI coding agents like Codex and Claude Code. It allows developers to run multiple agents in parallel, visually edit their output, and track tasks within a unified interface.

OpenAI has introduced GPT-Live, a new generation of voice models designed for natural human-AI interaction. These models are now integrated into ChatGPT Voice.

Cloudgeni-ai has released OpenGeni, an open-source, self-hostable agentic runtime service. It provides durable and replayable agent sessions with features like human approvals, governed credentials, and memory management, capable of running in managed sandboxes or on user-provided hardware.

Researchers introduced MonoIR-RS, a large-scale dataset and benchmark for infrared remote-sensing vision-language understanding. It features synthesized infrared images and IR-aware captions, adapting CLIP and VLM models to focus on thermal evidence rather than RGB appearance.
